Clubhouse Policy

Last updated: November 22, 2025

Guidelines for creating and running private clubs on Akangbou while staying compliant with legal and financial regulations.

Purpose & Scope

Clubhouse exists to coordinate private communities—member directories, dues, announcements, and shared docs. It is not an investment, fundraising, or deal-distribution platform.

  • Akangbou never brokers investments, recommends securities, or facilitates capital formation.
  • All financial decisions and transactions happen off-platform and are solely the responsibility of club organizers and their members.
  • Legal note: This feature is provided for general club organization and communication only. It is not legal, tax, or investment advice. Club organizers and members are responsible for complying with all applicable laws and regulations. This platform does not guarantee that your use of the feature complies with securities or other regulations; please consult qualified legal and financial professionals.

Creator Responsibilities

Subscription & Compliance

  • Club creators must maintain an active Premium subscription and complete Stripe Connect onboarding to collect dues.
  • Organizers are responsible for jurisdiction-specific compliance (tax, licensing, securities, privacy). Consult qualified professionals before inviting members.

Content & Communications

  • Avoid investment language (e.g., “guaranteed returns,” “fund performance,” “ROI”). Posts that trigger banned terms may be removed.
  • Use Akangbou for coordination (events, updates, documents); route any fundraising or securities activity through your own legal workflows.

Member Expectations

By joining this club, you understand that this platform is only a tool for organizing and managing the club. The platform does not provide investment advice, does not recommend investments, and does not process investment transactions. Any investment discussions or activities by club members occur completely outside this platform and are solely their responsibility. You are responsible for your own decisions and should consult qualified professionals (such as a lawyer or financial adviser) before making any investment decisions.

  • Membership dues cover access to club resources only; Akangbou does not hold or invest member funds.
  • Members should vet opportunities independently and retain their own legal/financial advisers.

Prohibited Uses

  • No soliciting or selling securities, syndications, pooled investments, or promissory notes on-platform.
  • No promises of returns, dividends, or other regulated financial language in club descriptions or posts.
  • Do not use Clubhouse to coordinate illegal activity, discrimination, or harassment. Violations may lead to suspension or referral to regulators.
